D-Day on Sunday in Jan Breydel, where Club Brugge can crown themselves national champions provided they draw against Cercle. The fans therefore say goodbye to Igor Thiago, who will move to Brentford after the season. And so Blauw-Zwart has to look for a new number nine.
After the victory against Anderlecht, Nicky Hayen also hopes to bring the Bruges derby to a successful conclusion without his spearhead, but there is no doubt that Thiago will leave a huge void deep in the point afterwards. In addition to his goals, the Brazilian bear was a valuable support for the team.
Successor to Thiago
Regardless of the plans with Ferran Jutgla or the loaned Roman Yaremchuk and Romeo Vermant, a new striker will soon be at the top of the wish list of director of football affairs Dévy Rigaux. In that respect, a few names have already been circulating in the rumor mill in recent months.
One of them is Etiosa Ighodaro, a 22-year-old Nigerian who has been loaned out by the South African top team Mamelodi Sundows in recent years. This season he scored eight goals in 33 appearances for SuperSport United, which has already announced that it will not take him over permanently.
Ighodaro to Club?
In an interview with the local medium FARPost Ighodaro was now asked about his future plans, with Club Brugge explicitly discussed. “If there is interest, a club must put a proposal on the table,” according to the left-footer, there is certainly no concrete offer yet.
“There are a lot of rumors going around, but when a club is really serious, you quickly notice it. Then it does not stop at rumors and headlines, but they make a move,” he added. So we have to wait and see whether Club will make work on Ighodaro, whose market value is only estimated at 750 thousand euros.
